I
was asked by Vivienne Wells to review the
eBook "Bead Flowers and Wedding
Bouquets" by Katie Dean.
I am
honored and glad to give a review because I love this aesthetic and
challenging eBook.
This
book's aim, as written in the introduction of the book, is to give an understanding of how
to use French beading techniques, make flowers and construct a bouquet.
"Bead
Flowers and Wedding Bouquets" has everything a beginner as well as an advanced
beader needs.
It
has step by step explanations about French Beading, detailed and easy to follow
written instructions and videos.
I
watched the videos that show Katie Dean demonstrating and explaining the
techniques. I was amazed how easy it was to follow her instructions. It was
almost as having her, as my private talented teacher, in my own
room!!
The
eBook has a lot of information not only about French Beading techniques but
also about bouquet's styles. It even has explanation about the meaning of the
flowers that are commonly used in wedding bouquets (this was a real surprise!!)
Most
important - it advances gradually.
The
beginner (as myself) can learn the techniques of french beading and advance
gradually, step by step, from making the individual flower to the whole
bouquet.
The
experienced beader can also find lots of information that will teach and
inspire him.
In
summary: A wonderful book and I recommend it wormly.

ReplyDeleteTotally surprised me to see this review pop up on my timeline. I'm in the process of teaching myself how to create a bead tree based on photos I've found on Google, would love to learn the proper techniques of the wire twisting etc. My current creation can only be defined as 'rustic' but am loving the concept & enjoying the experimentation. However, I'm lacking knowledge so this book could only be a boon to enhance my current skills :-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you saw this review and joined the giveaway :)
